Changelog
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (16 June 2009)
|
||
- Added a few more compiler warning options for gcc.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (16 Jun 2009)
|
||
- Reuven Wachtfogel made curl -o - properly produce a binary output on windows
|
||
(no newline translations). Use -B/--use-ascii if you rather get the ascii
|
||
approach.
|
||
|
||
Michal Marek (16 Jun 2009)
|
||
- When doing non-anonymous ftp via http proxies and the password is not
|
||
provided in the url, add it there (squid needs this).
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (15 Jun 2009)
|
||
- Eric Wong's patch:
|
||
|
||
This allows curl(1) to be used as a client-side tunnel for arbitrary stream
|
||
protocols by abusing chunked transfer encoding in both the HTTP request and
|
||
HTTP response. This requires server support for sending a response while a
|
||
request is still being read, of course.
|
||
|
||
If attempting to read from stdin returns EAGAIN, then we pause our sender.
|
||
This leaves curl to attempt to read from the socket while reading from stdin
|
||
(and thus sending) is paused.
|
||
|
||
This change was needed to allow successfully tunneling the git protocol over
|
||
HTTP (--no-buffer is needed, as well).
|
||
|
||
Patrick Monnerat (15 Jun 2009)
|
||
- Replaced use of standard C library rand()/srand() by our own pseudo-random
|
||
number generator.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (11 Jun 2009)
|
||
- I adapted testcurl script to allow building test harness programs when
|
||
cross-compiling for a *-*-mingw* host.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (10 Jun 2009)
|
||
- Fabian Keil ran clang on the (lib)curl code, found a bunch of warnings and
|
||
contributed a range of patches to fix them.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (10 Jun 2009)
|
||
- I introduced configure script option --enable-curldebug which now allows
|
||
the decoupled enabling or disabling of the curl debug memory tracking
|
||
feature from the --enable-debug option which no longer controls this.
|
||
|
||
curl --version will list 'Debug' feature for debug enabled builds, and
|
||
will list 'TrackMemory' feature for curl debug memory tracking capable
|
||
builds. These features are independent and can be controlled when running
|
||
the configure script. When --enable-debug is given both features will be
|
||
enabled, unless some restriction prevents memory tracking from being used.
|
||
|
||
Internally, definition of preprocessor symbol DEBUGBUILD restricts code
|
||
which is only compiled for debug enabled builds. And symbol CURLDEBUG is
|
||
used to differentiate code which is _only_ used for memory tracking.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (9 Jun 2009)
|
||
- Daniel Steinberg pointed out that Curl_FormInit() in formdata.c was not
|
||
initializing the fread callback pointer and this triggered a compiler
|
||
warning, also provided a friendly suggestion on how to fix it.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (8 Jun 2009)
|
||
- Claes Jakobsson provided a patch for libcurl-NSS that fixed a bad refcount
|
||
issue with client certs that caused issues like segfaults.
|
||
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2009-05/0316.html
|
||
|
||
- Triggered by bug report #2798852 and the patch in there, I fixed configure
|
||
to detect gnutls build options with pkg-config only and not libgnutls-config
|
||
anymore since GnuTLS has stopped distributing that tool. If an explicit path
|
||
is given to configure, we will instead guess on how to link and use that
|
||
lib. I did not use the patch from the bug report.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (8 Jun 2009)
|
||
- Igor Novoseltsev adjusted Makefile.vxworks to get sources and headers
|
||
included from Makefile.inc, and provided docs\INSTALL VxWorks section.
|
||
|
||
- I removed buildconf.bat from release and daily snapshot archives. This
|
||
file is only for CVS tree checkout builds.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (8 Jun 2009)
|
||
- Eric Wong fixed --no-buffer to actually switch off output buffering. Been
|
||
broken since 7.19.0
|
||
|
||
Bill Hoffman (6 Jun 2009)
|
||
- Added some cmake docs and fixed socklen_t in the build.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (5 Jun 2009)
|
||
- John E. Malmberg provided VMS specific patch: "This fixes an existing bug
|
||
in urlglob.c where it was not converting the Curl Unix exit code to a VMS
|
||
DCL compatible exit code. This fix required the enhancement described next.
|
||
This also adds an enhancement to main.c so that when curl is run under a
|
||
Unix shell like Bash on VMS, it will return the standard Unix exit codes
|
||
and messages." And another patch for docs/examples.
|
||
|
||
I introduced os-specific.c and os-specific.h for use in curl tool code
|
||
and adjusted John E. Malmberg's patch placement to use these new files
|
||
as an effort to prevent main.c from growing ad infinitum. Code already
|
||
existing in main.c which is OS specific should be moved into these files.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (4 June 2009)
|
||
- Setting the Content-Length: header from your app when you do a POST or PUT
|
||
is almost always a VERY BAD IDEA. Yet there are still apps out there doing
|
||
this, and now recently it triggered a bug/side-effect in libcurl as when
|
||
libcurl sends a POST or PUT with NTLM, it sends an empty post first when it
|
||
knows it will just get a 401/407 back. If the app then replaced the
|
||
Content-Length header, it caused the server to wait for input that libcurl
|
||
wouldn't send. Aaron Oneal reported this problem in bug report #2799008
|
||
http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2799008) and helped us verify the fix.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (4 Jun 2009)
|
||
- Igor Novoseltsev provided patches and information, that after some
|
||
adjustments to better fit curl's way of doing things, have resulted
|
||
in the posibility of building libcurl for VxWorks.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (2 June 2009)
|
||
- Checked in a Google Android make file. To use it, you must first
|
||
create a config.h file by running configure in the Android environment,
|
||
which doesn't seem to be easy to do. If no easy way can be found, a
|
||
static config-android.h may need to be created and checked in to the
|
||
libcurl source tree.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (1 June 2009)
|
||
- Claes Jakobsson fixed the configure script to better find and use NSS
|
||
without pkg-config.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (1 Jun 2009)
|
||
- John E. Malmberg provided a VMS specific clean-up for curl.h, and pointed
|
||
out that the configure script was failing to detect the timeval struct on
|
||
VMS when building with _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED undefined due to definition
|
||
taking place in socket.h instead of time.h. I have adjusted configure
|
||
script to also include this header when checking struct timeval.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (27 May 2009)
|
||
- Frank McGeough provided a small OpenSSL #include fix to make libcurl compile
|
||
fine with Nokia 5th edition 1.0 SDK for Symbian.
|
||
|
||
- Andre Guibert de Bruet found a call to a OpenSSL function that didn't check
|
||
for a failure properly.
|
||
|
||
- Mike Crowe pointed out that setting CURLOPT_USERPWD to NULL used to clear
|
||
the auth credentials back in 7.19.0 and earlier while now you have to set ""
|
||
to get the same effect. His patch brings back the ability to use NULL.
|
||
|
||
- Claes Jakobsson fixed libcurl-NSS to build fine even without the
|
||
PK11_CreateGenericObject() function.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (25 May 2009)
|
||
- bug report #2796358 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2796358) pointed
|
||
out that the cookie parser would leak memory when it parses cookies that are
|
||
received with domain, path etc set multiple times in the same header. While
|
||
such a cookie is questionable, they occur in the wild and libcurl no longer
|
||
leaks memory for them. I added such a header to test case 8.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (22 May 2009)
|
||
- Removed some obsolete digest code that caused a valgrind error in test 551.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (20 May 2009)
|
||
- Added "non-existing host" test keywords to make it easy to skip those
|
||
tests on machines that have broken DNS configurations (such as
|
||
those configured to use OpenDNS).
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (19 May 2009)
|
||
- Kamil Dudka brought the patch from the Redhat bug entry
|
||
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=427966 which was libcurl closing
|
||
a bad file descriptor when closing down the FTP data connection. Caolan
|
||
McNamara seems to be the original author of it.
|
||
|
||
Version 7.19.5 (18 May 2009)
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (17 May 2009)
|
||
- James Bursa posted a patch to the mailing list that fixed a problem with
|
||
no_proxy which made it not skip the proxy if the URL entered contained a
|
||
user name. I added test case 1101 to verify.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (11 May 2009)
|
||
- Balint Szilakszi reported a memory leak when libcurl did gzip decompression
|
||
of streams that had some parts (legitimately) missing. We now provide and use
|
||
a proper cleanup function for the content encoding submodule.
|
||
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2009-05/0092.html
|
||
|
||
- Kamil Dudka provided a fix for libcurl-NSS reported by Michael Cronenworth
|
||
at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=453612#c12
|
||
|
||
If an incorrect password is given while loading a private key, libcurl ends
|
||
up in an infinite loop consuming memory. The bug is critical.
|
||
|
||
- I fixed the problem with doing NTLM, POST and then following a 302 redirect,
|
||
as reported by Ebenezer Ikonne (on curl-users) and Laurent Rabret (on
|
||
curl-library). The transfer was mistakenly marked to get more data to send
|
||
but since it didn't actually have that, it just hung there...
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (10 May 2009)
|
||
- Andre Guibert de Bruet correctly pointed out an over-alloc with one wasted
|
||
byte in the digest code.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (9 May 2009)
|
||
- Removed DOS and TPF package's subdirectory Makefile.am, it was only used
|
||
to include some files in the distribution tarball serving no other purpose.
|
||
Files from the DOS and TPF subdirectories are now included in the EXTRA_DIST
|
||
of the Makefile in the parent subdirectory.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (8 May 2009)
|
||
- Changed host name literal in several tests to one under the haxx.se domain.
|
||
|
||
- Renamed vc6 workspace and project files to avoid filename clash when used
|
||
for conversion to later VS versions.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (8 May 2009)
|
||
- Constantine Sapuntzakis fixed bug report #2784055
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2784055) identifying a problem to
|
||
connect to SOCKS proxies when using the multi interface. It turned out to
|
||
almost not work at all previously. We need to wait for the TCP connect to
|
||
be properly verified before doing the SOCKS magic.
|
||
|
||
There's still a flaw in the FTP code for this.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (7 May 2009)
|
||
- Made the SO_SNDBUF setting for the data connection socket for ftp uploads as
|
||
well. See change 28 Apr 2009.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (7 May 2009)
|
||
- Fixed an issue affecting FTP transfers, introduced with the transfer.c
|
||
patch committed May 4.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (7 May 2009)
|
||
- Man page *roff problems fixed thanks to input from Colin Watson. Problems
|
||
reported in the Debian package.
|
||
|
||
- Vijay G filed bug report #2723236
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2723236) identifying a problem with
|
||
libcurl's TFTP code and its lack of dealing with the OACK packet.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (5 May 2009)
|
||
- Fixed the --ftp-port address of test #251 to the CLIENTIP address, and
|
||
reverted the change affecting test suite harness committed 4 May.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (5 May 2009)
|
||
- Inspired by Michael Smith's session id fix for OpenSSL, I did the
|
||
corresponding fix in the GnuTLS code: make sure to store the new session id
|
||
in case the previous re-used one is rejected.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (4 May 2009)
|
||
- Michael Smith posted bug report #2786255
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2786255) with a patch, identifying how
|
||
libcurl did not deal with SSL session ids properly if the server rejected a
|
||
re-use of one. Starting now, it will forget the rejected one and remember
|
||
the new. This change was for OpenSSL only, it is likely that other SSL lib
|
||
code needs similar fixes.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (4 May 2009)
|
||
- Applied David McCreedy's "transfer.c fixes for CURL_DO_LINEEND_CONV and
|
||
non-ASCII platform HTTP requests" patch addressing two HTTP PUT problems:
|
||
1) On non-ASCII platforms not all of the protocol portions of the PUT are
|
||
being translated to ASCII. 2) On all platforms the line endings of part of
|
||
the protocol portions are mangled from CRLF to CRCRLF if data->set.crlf or
|
||
data->set.prefer_ascii are set (depending on CURL_DO_LINEEND_CONV).
|
||
|
||
- Applied David McCreedy's patch to fix test suite harness to allow test FTP
|
||
server and client on different machines, providing FTP client address when
|
||
running the FTP test server.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (3 May 2009)
|
||
- Added and disabled test case 563 which shows KNOWN_BUGS #59. The bug
|
||
report failed to mention that a proxy must be used to reproduce it.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (2 May 2009)
|
||
- Use a build-time configured curl_socklen_t data type instead of socklen_t.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (1 May 2009)
|
||
- Applied David McCreedy's patches "TPF-platform specific changes to various
|
||
files" and "http.c fix to Curl_proxyCONNECT for non-ASCII platforms", the
|
||
former with minor edits.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (30 Apr 2009)
|
||
- I was going to fix issue #59 in KNOWN_BUGS
|
||
|
||
If the CURLOPT_PORT option is used on an FTP URL like
|
||
"ftp://example.com/file;type=A" the ";type=A" is stripped off.
|
||
|
||
I added test case 562 to verify, only to find out that I couldn't repeat
|
||
this bug so I hereby consider it not a bug anymore!
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (29 Apr 2009)
|
||
- Based on bug report #2723219 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2723219)
|
||
I've now made TFTP "connections" not being kept for re-use within libcurl.
|
||
TFTP is UDP-based so the benefit was really low (if even existing) to begin
|
||
with so instead of tracking down to fix this problem we instead removed the
|
||
re-use. I also enabled test case 1099 that I wrote a few days ago to verify
|
||
that this change fixes the reported problem.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (28 Apr 2009)
|
||
- Constantine Sapuntzakis filed bug report #2783090
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2783090) pointing out that on windows
|
||
we need to grow the SO_SNDBUF buffer somewhat to get really good upload
|
||
speeds. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823764 has the details. Friends
|
||
confirmed that simply adding 32 to CURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE is enough.
|
||
|
||
- Bug report #2709004 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2709004) by Tim
|
||
Chen pointed out how curl couldn't upload with resume when reading from a
|
||
pipe.
|
||
|
||
This ended up with the introduction of a new return code for the
|
||
CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION callback that basically says that the seek failed but
|
||
that libcurl may try to resolve the situation anyway. In our case this means
|
||
libcurl will attempt to instead read that much data from the stream instead
|
||
of seeking and that way curl can now upload with resume when data is read
|
||
from a stream!
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (26 Apr 2009)
|
||
- Bug report #2779733 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2779733) by Sven
|
||
Wegener pointed out that CURLINFO_APPCONNECT_TIME didn't work with the multi
|
||
interface and provided a patch that fixed the problem!
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (24 Apr 2009)
|
||
- Kamil Dudka fixed another NSS-related leak when client certs were used.
|
||
|
||
- Bug report #2779245 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2779245) by Rainer
|
||
Koenig pointed out that the man page didn't tell that the *_proxy
|
||
environment variables can be specified lower case or UPPER CASE and the
|
||
lower case takes precedence,
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (21 Apr 2009)
|
||
- Added new libcurl source files to Amiga, RiscOS and VC6 build files.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (21 Apr 2009)
|
||
- Moved potential inclusion of system's malloc.h and memory.h header files to
|
||
setup_once.h. Inclusion of each header file is based on the definition of
|
||
NEED_MALLOC_H and NEED_MEMORY_H respectively.
|
||
|
||
Renamed libcurl's memory.h to curl_memory.h
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (20 Apr 2009)
|
||
- Leanic Lefever reported a crash and did some detailed research on why and
|
||
how it occurs (http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2009-04/0289.html). The
|
||
conclusion was that if an error is detected and Curl_done() is called for
|
||
the connection, ftp_done() could at times return another error code that
|
||
then would take precedence and that new code confused existing logic that
|
||
works for the first error code (CURLE_SEND_ERROR) only.
|
||
|
||
- Gisle Vanem noticed that --libtool would produce bogus strings at times for
|
||
OBJECTPOINT options. Now we've introduced a new function - my_setopt_str -
|
||
within the app for setting plain string options to avoid the risk of this
|
||
mistake happening.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (17 Apr 2009)
|
||
- Pramod Sharma reported and tracked down a bug when doing FTP over a HTTP
|
||
proxy. libcurl would then wrongly close the connection after each
|
||
request. In his case it had the weird side-effect that it killed NTLM auth
|
||
for the proxy causing an inifinite loop!
|
||
|
||
I added test case 1098 to verify this fix. The test case does however not
|
||
properly verify that the transfers are done persistently - as I couldn't
|
||
think of a clever way to achieve it right now - but you need to read the
|
||
stderr output after a test run to see that it truly did the right thing.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (13 Apr 2009)
|
||
- bug report #2727981 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2727981) by Martin
|
||
Storsj<73> pointed out how setting CURLOPT_NOBODY to 0 could be downright
|
||
confusing as it set the method to either GET or HEAD. The example he showed
|
||
looked like:
|
||
|
||
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PUT, 1);
|
||
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 0);
|
||
|
||
The new way doesn't alter the method until the request is about to start. If
|
||
CURLOPT_NOBODY is then 1 the HTTP request will be HEAD. If CURLOPT_NOBODY is
|
||
0 and the request happens to have been set to HEAD, it will then instead be
|
||
set to GET. I believe this will be less surprising to users, and hopefully
|
||
not hit any existing users badly.
|
||
|
||
- Toshio Kuratomi reported a memory leak problem with libcurl+NSS that turned
|
||
out to be leaking cacerts. Kamil Dudka helped me complete the fix. The issue
|
||
is found in Redhat's bug tracker:
|
||
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=453612
|
||
|
||
There are still memory leaks present, but they seem to have other reasons.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (11 Apr 2009)
|
||
- Added new libcurl source files to Symbian OS build files.
|
||
- Improved Symbian support for SSL.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (10 Apr 2009)
|
||
- Daniel Johnson improved the MacOSX-Framework shell script to now perform all
|
||
the steps required to build a Mac OS X four way fat ppc/i386/ppc64/x86_64
|
||
libcurl.framework. Four way fat framework requires OS X 10.5 SDK or later.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (8 Apr 2009)
|
||
- Removed Sun compilers preprocessor block from curlbuild.h.dist, this also
|
||
removes it from the curlbuild.h file originally distributed by the cURL
|
||
project as this file is intended for systems not capable of running the
|
||
configure script. For those who have been building curl out of the source
|
||
code curl distribution tarball provided by curl.haxx.se the change implies
|
||
nothing. Previous change in this area committed 2 Apr becomes irrelevant.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (6 Apr 2009)
|
||
- I clarified in the docs that CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION should return 0 on success
|
||
and 1 on fatal errors. Previously it only mentioned non-zero on fatal
|
||
errors. This is a slight change in meaning, but it follows what we've done
|
||
elsewhere before and it opens up for LOTS of more useful return codes
|
||
whenever we can think of them...
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (2 Apr 2009)
|
||
- Fix curl_off_t definition for builds done using Sun compilers and a
|
||
non-configured libcurl. In this case curl_off_t data type was gated
|
||
to the off_t data type which depends on the _FILE_OFFSET_BITS. This
|
||
configuration is exactly the unwanted configuration for our curl_off_t
|
||
data type which must not depend on such setting. This breaks ABI for
|
||
libcurl libraries built with Sun compilers which were built without
|
||
having run the configure script with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS different than
|
||
64 and using the ILP32 data model.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (1 Apr 2009)
|
||
- Andre Guibert de Bruet fixed a NULL pointer use in an infof() call if a
|
||
strdup() call failed.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (31 Mar 2009)
|
||
- Properly return an error code in curl_easy_recv (reported by Jim Freeman).
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (18 Mar 2009)
|
||
- Kamil Dudka brought a patch that enables 6 additional crypto algorithms when
|
||
NSS is used. These ciphers were added in NSS 3.4 and require to be enabled
|
||
explicitly.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (13 Mar 2009)
|
||
- Use libssh2_version() to present the libssh2 version in case the libssh2
|
||
library is found to support it.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (12 Mar 2009)
|
||
- Added missing Curl_read() return code checking in TELNET transfers.
|
||
|
||
- Pierre Brico found and fixed TELNET transfers not being aborted upon
|
||
a write callback failure.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (11 Mar 2009)
|
||
- Kamil Dudka made the curl tool properly call curl_global_init() before any
|
||
other libcurl function.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (11 Mar 2009)
|
||
- Added missing TELNET timeout support for Windows builds. This issue was
|
||
reported by Pierre Brico.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (9 Mar 2009)
|
||
- Frank Hempel found out a bug and provided the fix:
|
||
|
||
curl_easy_duphandle did not necessarily duplicate the CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE
|
||
option. It only enabled the cookie engine in the destination handle if
|
||
data->cookies is not NULL (where data is the source handle). In case of a
|
||
newly initialized handle which just had the cookie support enabled by a
|
||
curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURL_COOKIEFILE, "")-call, handle->cookies was
|
||
still NULL because the setopt-call only appends the value to
|
||
data->change.cookielist, hence duplicating this handle would not have the
|
||
cookie engine switched on.
|
||
|
||
We also concluded that the slist-functionality would be suitable for being
|
||
put in its own module rather than simply hanging out in lib/sendf.c so I
|
||
created lib/slist.[ch] for them.
|
||
|
||
- Andreas Farber made the 'buildconf' script check for the presence of m4
|
||
scripts to make it detect a bad checkout earlier. People with older
|
||
checkouts who don't do cvs update with the -d option won't get the new dirs
|
||
and then will get funny outputs that can be a bit hard to understand and
|
||
fix.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (8 Mar 2009)
|
||
- Andre Guibert de Bruet found and fixed a code segment in ssluse.c where the
|
||
allocation of the memory BIO was not being properly checked.
|
||
|
||
- Andre Guibert de Bruet fixed the gnutls-using code: There are a few places
|
||
in the gnutls code where we were checking for negative values for errors,
|
||
when the man pages state that GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS is returned on success and
|
||
other values indicate error conditions.
|
||
|
||
- Bill Egert pointed out (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2671602) that
|
||
curl didn't use sprintf() in a way that is documented to work in POSIX but
|
||
since we use our own printf() code (from libcurl) that shouldn't be a
|
||
problem. Nonetheless I modified the code to not rely on such particular
|
||
features and to not cause further raised eyebrowse with no good reason.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (5 Mar 2009)
|
||
- Expanded the security section of the libcurl-tutorial man page to cover
|
||
more issues for authors to consider when writing robust libcurl-using
|
||
applications.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (5 Mar 2009)
|
||
- Fixed NTLM authentication memory leak on SSPI enabled Windows builds. This
|
||
issue was noticed by Chris Deidun.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (4 Mar 2009)
|
||
- Fixed a problem with m4 quoting in the OpenSSL configure check reported
|
||
by Daniel Johnson.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (3 Mar 2009)
|
||
- David James brought a patch that make libcurl close (all) dead connections
|
||
whenever you attempt to open a new connection.
|
||
|
||
1. After cleaning up a dead connection, "continue" instead of
|
||
returning FALSE. This ensures that we clean up all dead connections,
|
||
rather than just cleaning up the first dead connection.
|
||
2. Move up the cleanup for dead connections so that it occurs for
|
||
all connections, rather than just the connections which have the same
|
||
preferences as our current new connection.
|
||
|
||
Version 7.19.4 (3 March 2009)
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (3 Mar 2009)
|
||
- David Kierznowski notified us about a security flaw
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_20090303.html also known as CVE-2009-0037) in
|
||
which previous libcurl versions (by design) can be tricked to access an
|
||
arbitrary local/different file instead of a remote one when
|
||
CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled. This flaw is now fixed in this release
|
||
together this the addition of two new setopt options for controlling this
|
||
new behavior:
|
||
|
||
o CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS controls what protocols libcurl is allowed to
|
||
follow to when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled. By default, this option
|
||
excludes the FILE and SCP protocols and thus you nee to explicitly allow
|
||
them in your app if you really want that behavior.
|
||
|
||
o CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS controls what protocol(s) libcurl is allowed to fetch
|
||
using the primary URL option. This is useful if you want to allow a user or
|
||
other outsiders control what URL to pass to libcurl and yet not allow all
|
||
protocols libcurl may have been built to support.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (27 Feb 2009)
|
||
- Senthil Raja Velu reported a problem when CURLOPT_INTERFACE and
|
||
CURLOPT_LOCALPORT were used together (the local port bind failed), and
|
||
Markus Koetter provided the fix!
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (25 Feb 2009)
|
||
- As Daniel Fandrich figured out, we must do the GnuTLS initing in the
|
||
curl_global_init() function to properly maintain the performing functions
|
||
thread-safe. We've previously (28 April 2007) moved the init to a later time
|
||
just to avoid it to fail very early when libgcrypt dislikes the situation,
|
||
but that move was bad and the fix should rather be in libgcrypt or
|
||
elsewhere.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (24 Feb 2009)
|
||
- Brian J. Murrell found out that Negotiate proxy authentication didn't work.
|
||
It happened because the code used the struct for server-based auth all the
|
||
time for both proxy and server auth which of course was wrong.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (23 Feb 2009)
|
||
- After a bug reported by James Cheng I've made curl_easy_getinfo() for
|
||
CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD and CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_UPLOAD return
|
||
-1 if the sizes aren't know. Previously these returned 0, make it impossible
|
||
to detect the difference between actually zero and unknown.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (23 Feb 2009)
|
||
- Daniel Johnson provided a shell script that will perform all the steps needed
|
||
to build a Mac OS X fat ppc/i386 or ppc64/x86_64 libcurl.framework
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (23 Feb 2009)
|
||
- I renamed everything in the windows builds files that used the name 'curllib'
|
||
to the proper 'libcurl' as clearly this caused confusion.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (20 Feb 2009)
|
||
- Do not halt compilation when using VS2008 to build a Windows 2000 target.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (20 Feb 2009)
|
||
- Linus Nielsen Feltzing reported and helped me repeat and fix a problem with
|
||
FTP with the multi interface: when a transfer fails, like when aborted by a
|
||
write callback, the control connection was wrongly closed and thus not
|
||
re-used properly.
|
||
|
||
This change is also an attempt to cleanup the code somewhat in this area, as
|
||
now the FTP code attempts to keep (better) track on pending responses
|
||
necessary to get read in ftp_done().
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (19 Feb 2009)
|
||
- Patrik Thunstrom reported a problem and helped me repeat it. It turned out
|
||
libcurl did a superfluous 1000ms wait when doing SFTP downloads!
|
||
|
||
We read data with libssh2 while doing the "DO" operation for SFTP and then
|
||
when we were about to start getting data for the actual file part, the
|
||
"TRANSFER" part, we waited for socket action (in 1000ms) before doing a
|
||
libssh2-read. But in this case libssh2 had already read and buffered the
|
||
data so we ended up always just waiting 1000ms before we get working on the
|
||
data!
|
||
|
||
Patrick Monnerat (18 Feb 2009)
|
||
- FTP downloads (i.e.: RETR) ending with code 550 now return error
|
||
CURLE_REMOTE_FILE_NOT_FOUND instead of CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_RETR_FILE.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (17 Feb 2009)
|
||
- Kamil Dudka made NSS-powered builds compile and run again!
|
||
|
||
- A second follow-up change by Andre Guibert de Bruet to fix a related memory
|
||
leak like that fixed on the 14th. When zlib returns failure, we need to
|
||
cleanup properly before returning error.
|
||
|
||
- CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS can now be set to 2 in addition to 1 for
|
||
plain FTP connections, and it will then allow MKD to fail once and retry the
|
||
CWD afterwards. This is especially useful if you're doing many simultanoes
|
||
connections against the same server and they all have this option enabled,
|
||
as then CWD may first fail but then another connection does MKD before this
|
||
connection and thus MKD fails but trying CWD works! The numbers can
|
||
(should?) now be set with the convenience enums now called
|
||
CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR and CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR_RETRY.
|
||
|
||
Tests has proven that if you're making an application that uploads a set of
|
||
files to an ftp server, you will get a noticable gain in speed if you're
|
||
using multiple connections and this option will be then be very useful.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (14 Feb 2009)
|
||
- Andre Guibert de Bruet found and fixed a memory leak in the content encoding
|
||
code, which could happen on libz errors.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (12 Feb 2009)
|
||
- Added support for Digest and NTLM authentication using GnuTLS.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (11 Feb 2009)
|
||
- CURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET was added to allow an application to get to know if
|
||
the condition in the previous request was unmet. This is typically a time
|
||
condition set with CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION and was previously not possible to
|
||
reliably figure out. From bug report #2565128
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2565128) filed by Jocelyn Jaubert.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (4 Feb 2009)
|
||
- Don't add the standard /usr/lib or /usr/include paths to LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS
|
||
(respectively) when --with-ssl=/usr is used (patch based on FreeBSD).
|
||
|
||
- Added an explicit buffer limit check in msdosify() (patch based on FreeBSD).
|
||
This couldn't ever overflow in curl, but might if the code were used
|
||
elsewhere or under different conditions.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (3 Feb 2009)
|
||
- Hidemoto Nakada provided a small fix that makes it possible to get the
|
||
CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD size from file:// "transfers" with
|
||
CURLOPT_NOBODY set true.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (2 Feb 2009)
|
||
- Patrick Scott found a rather large memory leak when using the multi
|
||
interface and setting CURLMOPT_MAXCONNECTS to something less than the number
|
||
of handles you add to the multi handle. All the connections that didn't fit
|
||
in the cache would not be properly disconnected nor freed!
|
||
|
||
- Craig A West brought us: libcurl now defaults to do CONNECT with HTTP
|
||
version 1.1 instead of 1.0 like before. This change also introduces the new
|
||
proxy type for libcurl called 'CURLPROXY_HTTP_1_0' that then allows apps to
|
||
switch (back) to CONNECT 1.0 requests. The curl tool also got a --proxy1.0
|
||
option that works exactly like --proxy but sets CURLPROXY_HTTP_1_0.
|
||
|
||
I updated all test cases cases that use CONNECT and I tried to do some using
|
||
--proxy1.0 and some updated to do CONNECT 1.1 to get both versions run.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (31 Jan 2009)
|
||
- When building with c-ares 1.6.1 (not yet released) or later and IPv6 support
|
||
enabled, we can now take advantage of its brand new AF_UNSPEC support in
|
||
ares_gethostbyname(). This makes test case 241 finally run fine for me with
|
||
this setup since it now parses the "::1 ip6-localhost" line fine in my
|
||
/etc/hosts file!
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (30 Jan 2009)
|
||
- Scott Cantor filed bug report #2550061
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2550061) mentioning that I failed to
|
||
properly make sure that the VC9 makefiles got included in the latest
|
||
release. I've now fixed the release script and verified it so next release
|
||
will hopefully include them properly!
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (30 Jan 2009)
|
||
- Fixed --disable-proxy for FTP and SOCKS. Thanks to Daniel Egger for
|
||
reporting.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (29 Jan 2009)
|
||
- Introduced curl_sspi.c and curl_sspi.h for the implementation of functions
|
||
Curl_sspi_global_init() and Curl_sspi_global_cleanup() which previously were
|
||
named Curl_ntlm_global_init() and Curl_ntlm_global_cleanup() in http_ntlm.c
|
||
Also adjusted socks_sspi.c to remove the link-time dependency on the Windows
|
||
SSPI library using it now in the same way as it was done in http_ntlm.c.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (28 Jan 2009)
|
||
- Markus Moeller introduced two new options to libcurl:
|
||
CURLOPT_SOCKS5_GSSAPI_SERVICE and CURLOPT_SOCKS5_GSSAPI_NEC to allow libcurl
|
||
to do GSS-style authentication with SOCKS5 proxies. The curl tool got the
|
||
options called --socks5-gssapi-service and --socks5-gssapi-nec to enable
|
||
these.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (26 Jan 2009)
|
||
- Chad Monroe provided the new CURLOPT_TFTP_BLKSIZE option that allows an app
|
||
to set desired block size to use for TFTP transfers instead of the default
|
||
512 bytes.
|
||
|
||
- The "-no_ticket" option was introduced in Openssl0.9.8j. It's a flag to
|
||
disable "rfc4507bis session ticket support". rfc4507bis was later turned
|
||
into the proper RFC5077 it seems: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5077
|
||
|
||
The enabled extension concerns the session management. I wonder how often
|
||
libcurl stops a connection and then resumes a TLS session. also, sending the
|
||
session data is some overhead. .I suggest that you just use your proposed
|
||
patch (which explicitly disables TICKET).
|
||
|
||
If someone writes an application with libcurl and openssl who wants to
|
||
enable the feature, one can do this in the SSL callback.
|
||
|
||
Sharad Gupta brought this to my attention. Peter Sylvester helped me decide
|
||
on the proper action.
|
||
|
||
- Alexey Borzov filed bug report #2535504
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2535504) pointing out that realms with
|
||
quoted quotation marks in HTTP Digest headers didn't work. I've now added
|
||
test case 1095 that verifies my fix.
|
||
|
||
- Craig A West brought CURLOPT_NOPROXY and the corresponding --noproxy option.
|
||
They basically offer the same thing the NO_PROXY environment variable only
|
||
offered previously: list a set of host names that shall not use the proxy
|
||
even if one is specified.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (20 Jan 2009)
|
||
- Call setlocale() for libtest tests to test the effects of locale-induced
|
||
libc changes on libcurl.
|
||
|
||
- Fixed a couple more locale-dependent toupper conversions, mainly for
|
||
clarity. This does fix one problem that causes ;type=i FTP URLs
|
||
to fail in the Turkish locale when CURLOPT_PROXY_TRANSFER_MODE is
|
||
used (test case 561)
|
||
|
||
- Added tests 561 and 1091 through 1094 to test various combinations
|
||
of ;type= and ;mode= URLs that could potentially fail in the Turkish
|
||
locale.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (20 Jan 2009)
|
||
- Lisa Xu pointed out that the ssh.obj file was missing from the
|
||
lib/Makefile.vc6 file (and thus from the vc8 and vc9 ones too).
|
||
|
||
Version 7.19.3 (19 January 2009)
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (16 Jan 2009)
|
||
- Andrew de los Reyes fixed curlbuild.h for "generic" gcc builds on PPC, both
|
||
32 bit and 64 bit.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (15 Jan 2009)
|
||
- Tim Ansell fixed a compiler warning in lib/cookie.c
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (14 Jan 2009)
|
||
- Grant Erickson fixed timeouts for TFTP such that specifying a
|
||
connect-timeout, a max-time or both options work correctly and as expected
|
||
by passing the correct boolean value to Curl_timeleft via the
|
||
'duringconnect' parameter.
|
||
|
||
With this small change, curl TFTP now behaves as expected (and likely as
|
||
originally-designed):
|
||
|
||
1) For non-existent or unreachable dotted IP addresses:
|
||
|
||
a) With no options, follows the default curl 300s timeout...
|
||
b) With --connect-timeout only, follows that value...
|
||
c) With --max-time only, follows that value...
|
||
d) With both --connect-timeout and --max-time, follows the smaller value...
|
||
|
||
and times out with a "curl: (7) Couldn't connect to server" error.
|
||
|
||
2) For transfers to/from a valid host:
|
||
|
||
a) With no options, follows default curl 300s timeout for the
|
||
first XRQ/DATA/ACK transaction and the default TFTP 3600s
|
||
timeout for the remainder of the transfer...
|
||
|
||
b) With --connect-time only, follows that value for the
|
||
first XRQ/DATA/ACK transaction and the default TFTP 3600s
|
||
timeout for the remainder of the transfer...
|
||
|
||
c) With --max-time only, follows that value for the first
|
||
XRQ/DATA/ACK transaction and for the remainder of the
|
||
transfer...
|
||
|
||
d) With both --connect-timeout and --max-time, follows the former
|
||
for the first XRQ/DATA/ACK transaction and the latter for the
|
||
remainder of the transfer...
|
||
|
||
and times out with a "curl: (28) Timeout was reached" error as
|
||
appropriate.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (13 Jan 2009)
|
||
- Michael Wallner fixed a NULL pointer deref when calling
|
||
curl_easy_setup(curl, CURLOPT_COOKIELIST, "SESS") on a CURL handle with no
|
||
cookies data.
|
||
|
||
- Stefan Teleman brought a patch to fix the default curlbuild.h file for the
|
||
SunPro compilers.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (12 Jan 2009)
|
||
- Based on bug report #2498665 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2498665)
|
||
by Daniel Black, I've now added magic to the configure script that makes it
|
||
use pkg-config to detect gnutls details as well if the existing method
|
||
(using libgnutls-config) fails. While doing this, I cleaned up and unified
|
||
the pkg-config usage when detecting openssl and nss as well.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (11 Jan 2009)
|
||
- Karl Moerder brought the patch that creates vc9 Makefiles, and I made
|
||
'maketgz' now use the actual makefile targets to do the VC8 and VC9
|
||
makefiles.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (10 Jan 2009)
|
||
- Emil Romanus fixed:
|
||
|
||
When using the multi interface over HTTP and the server returns a Location
|
||
header, the running easy handle will get stuck in the CURLM_STATE_PERFORM
|
||
state, leaving the external event loop stuck waiting for data from the
|
||
ingoing socket (when using the curl_multi_socket_action stuff). While this
|
||
bug was pretty hard to find, it seems to require only a one-line fix. The
|
||
break statement on line 1374 in multi.c caused the function to skip the call
|
||
to multistate().
|
||
|
||
How to reproduce this bug? Well, that's another question. evhiperfifo.c in
|
||
the examples directory chokes on this bug only _sometimes_, probably
|
||
depending on how fast the URLs are added. One way of testing the bug out is
|
||
writing to hiper.fifo from more than one source at the same time.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (7 Jan 2009)
|
||
- Unified much of the SessionHandle initialization done in Curl_open() and
|
||
curl_easy_reset() by creating Curl_init_userdefined(). This had the side
|
||
effect of fixing curl_easy_reset() so it now also resets
|
||
CURLOPT_FTP_FILEMETHOD and CURLOPT_SSL_SESSIONID_CACHE
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (7 Jan 2009)
|
||
- Rob Crittenden did once again provide an NSS update:
|
||
|
||
I have to jump through a few hoops now with the NSS library initialization
|
||
since another part of an application may have already initialized NSS by the
|
||
time Curl gets invoked. This patch is more careful to only shutdown the NSS
|
||
library if Curl did the initialization.
|
||
|
||
It also adds in a bit of code to set the default ciphers if the app that
|
||
call NSS_Init* did not call NSS_SetDomesticPolicy() or set specific
|
||
ciphers. One might argue that this lets other application developers get
|
||
lazy and/or they aren't using the NSS API correctly, and you'd be right.
|
||
But still, this will avoid terribly difficult-to-trace crashes and is
|
||
generally helpful.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (1 Jan 2009)
|
||
- 'reconf' is removed since we rather have users use 'buildconf'
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (31 Dec 2008)
|
||
- Bas Mevissen reported http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2479030 pointing
|
||
out that 'reconf' didn't properly point out the m4 subdirectory when running
|
||
aclocal.
|
||

Daniel Stenberg (29 Dec 2008)
|
||
- Phil Lisiecki filed bug report #2413067
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2413067) that identified a problem that
|
||
would cause libcurl to mark a DNS cache entry "in use" eternally if the
|
||
subsequence TCP connect failed. It would thus never get pruned and refreshed
|
||
as it should've been.
|
||
|
||
Phil provided his own patch to this problem that while it seemed to work
|
||
wasn't complete and thus I wrote my own fix to the problem.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (28 Dec 2008)
|
||
- Peter Korsgaard fixed building libcurl with "configure --with-ssl
|
||
--disable-verbose".
|
||
|
||
- Anthony Bryan fixed more language and spelling flaws in man pages.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (22 Dec 2008)
|
||
- Given a recent enough libssh2, libcurl can now seek/resume with SFTP even
|
||
on file indexes beyond 2 or 4GB.
|
||
|
||
- Anthony Bryan provided a set of patches that cleaned up manual language,
|
||
corrected spellings and more.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (20 Dec 2008)
|
||
- Igor Novoseltsev fixed a bad situation for the multi_socket() API when doing
|
||
pipelining, as libcurl could then easily get confused and A) work on the
|
||
handle that was not "first in queue" on a pipeline, or even B) tell the app
|
||
to REMOVE a socket while it was in use by a second handle in a pipeline. Both
|
||
errors caused hanging or stalling applications.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (19 Dec 2008)
|
||
- curl_multi_timeout() could return a timeout value of 0 even though nothing
|
||
was actually ready to get done, as the internal time resolution is higher
|
||
than the returned millisecond timer. Therefore it could cause applications
|
||
running on fast processors to do short bursts of busy-loops.
|
||
curl_multi_timeout() will now only return 0 if the timeout is actually
|
||
alreay triggered.
|
||
|
||
- Using the libssh2 0.19 function libssh2_session_block_directions(), libcurl
|
||
now has an improved ability to do right when the multi interface (both
|
||
"regular" and multi_socket) is used for SCP and SFTP transfers. This should
|
||
result in (much) less busy-loop situations and thus less CPU usage with no
|
||
speed loss.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (17 Dec 2008)
|
||
- SCP and SFTP with the multi interface had the same flaw: the 'DONE'
|
||
operation didn't complete properly if the EAGAIN equivalent was returned but
|
||
libcurl would simply continue with a half-completed close operation
|
||
performed. This ruined persistent connection re-use and cause some
|
||
SSH-protocol errors in general. The correction is unfortunately adding a
|
||
blocking function - doing it entirely non-blocking should be considered for
|
||
a better fix.
|
||
|
||
Gisle Vanem (16 Dec 2008)
|
||
- Added the possibility to use the Watt-32 tcp/ip stack under Windows.
|
||
The change simply involved adding a USE_WATT32 section in the
|
||
config-win32.h files (under ./lib and ./src). This section disables
|
||
the use of any Winsock headers.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (16 Dec 2008)
|
||
- libssh2_sftp_last_error() was wrongly used at some places in libcurl which
|
||
made libcurl sometimes not properly abort problematic SFTP transfers.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (12 Dec 2008)
|
||
- More work with Igor Novoseltsev to first fix the remaining stuff for
|
||
removing easy handles from multi handles when the easy handle is/was within
|
||
a HTTP pipeline. His bug report #2351653
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2351653) was also related and was
|
||
eventually fixed by a patch by Igor himself.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (12 Dec 2008)
|
||
- Patrick Monnerat fixed a build regression, introduced in 7.19.2, affecting
|
||
OS/400 compilations with IPv6 enabled.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (12 Dec 2008)
|
||
- Mark Karpeles filed bug report #2416182 titled "crash in ConnectionExists
|
||
when using duphandle+curl_mutli"
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2416182) which showed that
|
||
curl_easy_duphandle() wrongly also copied the pointer to the connection
|
||
cache, which was plain wrong and caused a segfault if the handle would be
|
||
used in a different multi handle than the handle it was duplicated from.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (11 Dec 2008)
|
||
- Keshav Krity found out that libcurl failed to deal with dotted IPv6
|
||
addresses if they were very long (>39 letters) due to a too strict address
|
||
validity parser. It now accepts addresses up to 45 bytes long.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (11 Dec 2008)
|
||
- Internet Explorer had a broken HTTP digest authentication before v7 and
|
||
there are servers "out there" that relies on the client doing this broken
|
||
Digest authentication. Apache even comes with an option to work with such
|
||
broken clients.
|
||
|
||
The difference is only for URLs that contain a query-part (a '?'-letter and
|
||
text to the right of it).
|
||
|
||
libcurl now supports this quirk, and you enable it by setting the
|
||
CURLAUTH_DIGEST_IE bit in the bitmask you pass to the CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH or
|
||
CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH options. They are thus individually controlled to server
|
||
and proxy.
|
||
|
||
(note that there's no way to activate this with the curl tool yet)
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (9 Dec 2008)
|
||
- Added test cases 1089 and 1090 to test --write-out after a redirect to
|
||
test a report that the size didn't work, but these test cases pass.
|
||
|
||
- Documented CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY as being useful only on HTTP URLs.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (9 Dec 2008)
|
||
- Ken Hirsch simplified how libcurl does FTPS: now it doesn't assume any
|
||
particular state for the control connection like it did before for implicit
|
||
FTPS (libcurl assumed such control connections to be encrypted while some
|
||
FTPS servers such as FileZilla assumes such connections to be clear
|
||
mode). Use the CURLOPT_USE_SSL option to set your desired level.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (8 Dec 2008)
|
||
- Fred Machado posted about a weird FTP problem on the curl-users list and when
|
||
researching it, it turned out he got a 550 response back from a SIZE command
|
||
and then I fell over the text in RFC3659 that says:
|
||
|
||
The presence of the 550 error response to a SIZE command MUST NOT be taken
|
||
by the client as an indication that the file cannot be transferred in the
|
||
current MODE and TYPE.
|
||
|
||
In other words: the change I did on September 30th 2008 and that has been
|
||
included in the last two releases were a regression and a bad idea. We MUST
|
||
NOT take a 550 response from SIZE as a hint that the file doesn't exist.
|
||
|
||
- Christian Krause filed bug #2221237
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2221237) that identified an infinite
|
||
loop during GSS authentication given some specific conditions. With his
|
||
patience and great feedback I managed to narrow down the problem and
|
||
eventually fix it although I can't test any of this myself!
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (3 Dec 2008)
|
||
- Fixed the getifaddrs version of Curl_if2ip to work on systems without IPv6
|
||
support (e.g. Minix)
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (3 Dec 2008)
|
||
- Igor Novoseltsev filed bug #2351645
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2351645) that identified a problem with
|
||
the multi interface that occured if you removed an easy handle while in
|
||
progress and the handle was used in a HTTP pipeline.
|
||
|
||
- Pawel Kierski pointed out a mistake in the cookie code that could lead to a
|
||
bad fclose() after a fatal error had occured.
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2382219)
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (25 Nov 2008)
|
||
- If a HTTP request is Basic and num is already >=1000, the HTTP test
|
||
server adds 1 to num to get the data section to return. This allows
|
||
testing authentication negotiations using the Basic authentication
|
||
method.
|
||
|
||
- Added tests 1087 and 1088 to test Basic authentication on a redirect
|
||
with and without --location-trusted
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (24 Nov 2008)
|
||
- Based on a patch by Vlad Grachov, libcurl now uses a new libssh2 0.19
|
||
function when built to support SCP and SFTP that helps the library to know
|
||
in which direction a particular libssh2 operation would return EAGAIN so
|
||
that libcurl knows what socket conditions to wait for before trying the
|
||
function call again. Previously (and still when using libssh2 0.18 or
|
||
earlier), libcurl will busy-loop in this situation when the easy interface
|
||
is used!
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (20 Nov 2008)
|
||
- Automatically detect OpenBSD's CA cert bundle.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (19 Nov 2008)
|
||
- I removed the default use of "Pragma: no-cache" from libcurl when a proxy is
|
||
used. It has been used since forever but it was never a good idea to use
|
||
unless explicitly asked for.
|
||
|
||
- Josef Wolf's extension that allows a $TESTDIR/gdbinit$testnum file that when
|
||
you use runtests.pl -g, will be sourced by gdb to allow additional fancy or
|
||
whatever you see fit
|
||
|
||
- Christian Krause reported and fixed a memory leak that would occur with HTTP
|
||
GSS/kerberos authentication (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2284386)
|
||
|
||
- Andreas Wurf and Markus Koetter helped me analyze a problem that Andreas got
|
||
when uploading files to a single FTP server using multiple easy handle
|
||
handles with the multi interface. Occasionally a handle would stall in
|
||
mysterious ways.
|
||
|
||
The problem turned out to be a side-effect of the ConnectionExists()
|
||
function's eagerness to re-use a handle for HTTP pipelining so it would
|
||
select it even if already being in use, due to an inadequate check for its
|
||
chances of being used for pipelnining.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (17 Nov 2008)
|
||
- Added more compiler warning options for gcc 4.3
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (17 Nov 2008)
|
||
- Fix a remaining problem in the inet_pton() runtime configure check. And
|
||
fix internal Curl_inet_pton() failures to reject certain malformed literals.
|
||
|
||
- Make configure script check if ioctl with the SIOCGIFADDR command can be
|
||
used, and define HAVE_IOCTL_SIOCGIFADDR if appropriate.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (16 Nov 2008)
|
||
- Christian Krause fixed a build failure when building with gss support
|
||
enabled and FTP disabled.
|
||
|
||
- Added check for NULL returns from strdup() in src/main.c and lib/formdata.c
|
||
- reported by Jim Meyering also prevent buffer overflow on MSDOS when you do
|
||
for example -O on a url with a file name part longer than PATH_MAX letters
|
||
|
||
- lib/nss.c fixes based on the report by Jim Meyering: I went over and added
|
||
checks for return codes for all calls to malloc and strdup that were
|
||
missing. I also changed a few malloc(13) to use arrays on the stack and a
|
||
few malloc(PATH_MAX) to instead use aprintf() to lower memory use.
|
||
|
||
- I fixed a memory leak in Curl_nss_connect() when CURLOPT_ISSUERCERT is
|
||
in use.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (14 Nov 2008)
|
||
- Added .xml as one of the few common file extensions known by the multipart
|
||
form generator.
|
||
|
||
- Added some #ifdefs around header files and change the EAGAIN test to
|
||
fix compilation on Cell (reported by Jeff Curley).
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (14 Nov 2008)
|
||
- Fixed several configure script issues affecting checks for inet_ntoa_r(),
|
||
inet_ntop(), inet_pton(), getifaddrs(), fcntl() and getaddrinfo().
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (13 Nov 2008)
|
||
- Refactored configure script detection of functions used to set sockets into
|
||
non-blocking mode, and decouple function detection from function capability.
